    Grizzly’s or not?

    Wouldn't blame her for leaving your POS ass. Do not know why so many RS forum members give their tacit approval for poaching.

    Grizzly’s or not?

    Folks were being civil about an interesting encounter involving grizzly bears. Then in typical RS forum member fashion, you show up and go straight to SSS.

    Is the Vortex Razor HD Gen 1 16-48x65 the best value spotter under $1,000?

    Grab a beverage of your choice and take a look here: https://backwoodspursuit.com/best-spotting-scope-for-hunting/ Pad your budget a bit to take advantage of killer deals (ex: NIB Kowa 55x for under $1200) or used spotters that normally are much higher in price.

    Charging bear/timed shooting drill

    I have taken a slightly different approach when going to to brown bear country. Partially it is to do this work at the house but also to not have to deal with grouchy ROs. I still did work in the field (charging bear targets at 30, 20, 10 yards and work my way in) but primarily relied upon this...

    BLM to open 22 mil acres in Western states to solar

    Fair enough to a degree but there still are an assortment of animals, including rattlesnakes, on-site despite what CV professed and your "pure liability" stance.

    BLM to open 22 mil acres in Western states to solar

    Please explain why snake chaps are sometimes required PPE when out in the field at some of the solar power plants that I go to for work. Since you are the expert and have stated that "no wildlife will exist or will be permitted", why is it required PPE? I genuinely want to know so that I can...

    BLM to open 22 mil acres in Western states to solar

    True but even those components are not that impactful (minus the visual appeal). Animals do not care about power lines and roads expect possibly when being built. Substations are not even that large. The plant designers will need to figure out just how high to build the fencing on the...

    Killing illegal grizzly cheaper than legal?

    Not. I'm not a fan of poachers and with these comments, more than one forum member is supporting the poacher by not condemning his actions. Take these comments and combine them with comments from the recent anti-predator posts, it does not paint a flattering portrait of hunters.

    Killing illegal grizzly cheaper than legal?

    So in true hypocritical fashion that is the norm on Rokslide, poaching is to be fully supported when it suites you and is to be vilified when it does not. Great job on potentially providing the anti-hunting crowd more fodder to support their cause.

    BLM to open 22 mil acres in Western states to solar

    Somethings you do not joke about (unsure on your part due to wording). Do target practice on critical infrastructure and do not be surprised if you get brought up on terrorism-related charges.

    Geovid Pro 10X42 with dead on industries and arca... Which Marsupial for fit

    Have you reached out to them to get the internal dimensions for their various sizes? Edit: This is from their site so you should be able to figure it out... Hey! Here are the interior dimensions of enclosed packs! I would go with the Small Enclosed Pack for the Furys, or the Medium if you are...

    NM, AZ, Water Filters during Elk hunting the back country.

    Carry water so that you know that you will have some. No guarantees that water will be available as sources tend to dry up and can be very seasonal. Seen far too many water holes that are nothing more than a septic tank for all the animals, including humans, that pass through the area. Nothing...

    Dry January

    It was libelous of you to imply that I have a drinking problem. Thankfully you are not my brother. The fad is in the title whether you like it or not. If a person has a health issue that would benefit from the reduction or elimination of alcohol, the person should should do what is needed. If...

    Dry January

    Folks should stop chasing fads that ultimately lead to becoming a nation of wimps. Folks are playing into the hands of folks that want to feminize men. Do what makes the most sense for you.

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    It is easy. Outside of the Rokslide realm, folks tend to hunt the same animals in the same location every single year. Their needs and requirements may not necessarily align with some others especial those on this site. I understand that but it seems many on this site do not. If something...

    Budget 15x Binos or a Budget Spotting Scope?

    Rent as needed while you continue to save. Look at Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski and Vortex Razor UHD. When glassing you want clarity as you are likely to get headaches, eye strain, etc with lower tier optics. More time in the glass means more animals found.

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Not everyone in the entire hunting universe has the same standards of excellence and skill level that you and some others on this site have. I am happy to see Maven revisiting their lineup and do hope that other manufacturers follow suite. However, regular folks still find a way to kill game on...

    Solo elk trip in a Toyota tacoma

    Pack like it is a sheep hunt and you have a 50 pound limit. We bring too much stuff on hunts because we have the space. Used to hunt out of my 2 door Wrangler and was fine. Got a bigger vehicle which led to bringing more stuff that had zero direct impact on my hunting success. Have an even...

    wolves, we have enough.....

    Folks tend to not like to have others' beliefs rammed down their throats yet far too often are guilty of doing the very thing that they are bitching about. QuackAttack didn't like that the city dwellers "forced" their belief down his throat yet he personally wants to force his belief down their...
